Installing the Printer Driver on Your PC

After you connect the printer to your computer, install the printer driver on your computer. The printer driver is software that allows your computer to control the printer. You need to install the printer driver so your Windows software applications can take full advantage of the printer’s capabilities. The printer driver is included in the EPSON printer software disks that come with your printer.

If you are using DOS, see “Optional printer driver for DOS program users” on page 1-18.

Note:

Before you install the printer software, it is best to make backup copies of the EPSON printer software disks.
